Never did do the facebook thing, other than to sign up to look at the 
kids' and some friend's stuff. Haven't been on in a few years that I can 
recall, don't even remember the name I used, but it wasn't mine.

Never was really into putting a lot of stuff online, especially of the 
kids, I'm too protective and I know there are way too many whackjobs out 
there these days.

I get your texts about the shows. You can just text me when you're in 
Arlington - I don't get out to the big cities too much anymore, and of 
course this is Fun Central, why would anyone want to go to Dallas or FW?
